In 2012, I seriously considered accepting an offer from the Obama campaign that would have required me to drop everything and move to somewhere in North Carolina for 4 months just to try to help beat Mitt Romney.
Do you realize how bad things have had to get for me to be genuinely frustrated (and worried!) that he's retiring and won't at least be around trying to talk some sense into his fellow Republicans?
Unfortunately, this is looking more plausible each day.
Excerpt from this story from DeSmog Blog:
The election results are a stark reminder of just how divided the country remains on many issues. However, in the days since the results were announced November 7, two senators from both parties are finding common ground in a familiar space: opposition to the Green New Deal and support for a dying coal industry.
Both Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) immediately took to CNN and Fox News in the days after the election was called to try and rally support for the fossil fuel industry in the wake of Joe Biden's election as president — a success which brings with it the promise of strong climate action.

Romney told CNN on November 8 that “I want to make sure that we conservatives keep on fighting to make sure we don't have a Green New Deal, we don't get rid of gas and coal.”

“We’re going to use fossil in its cleanest fashion,” he added. Manchin's unwavering support for the coal industry is well documented and unsurprising as he ran a coal company prior to being elected to the Senate.
Manchin in his comments also echoed Romney’s call to not get rid of gas and coal, telling Fox News, “You have to have energy independence in this country. You can’t eliminate certain things.”
Well Golly...Mitt Romney promises to show a spine in Washington!

Mitt Romney – A Republican Patriot
Most objective observers, even the ones supporting our current president, realize that this country is fracturing before our eyes. Any normal behavior we exhibited in the past is falling by the waist side. The sheer coward-like behavior of most current Republican polticians in Congress has put this beautiful country in jeopardy. Sure, they might only be…
